Most memberships being handed out free at internal contests between the few remaining members. during this period millions of dollars worth of debt were eventually 'forgiven' under statues of linitation and accounted as income ( just see the filings on any reasonable stocks site).<BR/><BR/>A couple of years ago the board was joined by directors with experience in off shore and on line gambling and were further joined by a new buisness shark from google at no pay but 150,000 shares plus 100,000 per year. Whilst the share price languishes at or about 20 cents this may not seem much, but given therefore the potential rise it could well be an attractive remuneration for guiding a prementive land grab across the virtual universe.<BR/><BR/>Clearly the 'game' hass been operating at a substantial loss for years, the only reason to protect the patent.<BR/><BR/>It is fairly clear that with debts written off and calculating gamblers on board with a decent business brain recently added that they feel able to pitch for the pot.<BR/><BR/>Cynical? most asuredly so.<BR/>Moraly Just? most asuredly not.<BR/>Typical Banksters attempt at gaining money for nothing .... I would say yes.<BR/><BR/>( Note all financial, personel and stock information is freely available, including insider dealings via the many stocks and shares web sites that also route through to SEC filings).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565056431333847622.post-3357659480143433192009-01-30T00:33:00.000-04:002009-01-30T00:33:00.000-04:00Well Danshir, after reading all that shit from the...Well Danshir, after reading all that shit from the Worlds.com guy, I too, will be taking a bath... I had to get my boots and high waters out due to that being a massive amount of shit getting deep lol.

I recall a case of a Chinese company suing blizzard over a type font they claimed was blatantly plagiarized from them. The sum in question was a month of wow subscription revenue.<BR/><BR/>I'm not one to say MMO companies shouldn't be held accountable if and when they error, but this is a case of shameless extortion on false claims.<BR/><BR/>By the way, thank you for following my blog. I feel honored that you enjoy it, despite it not being an MMO centric journal.Fuzzy Porcupine Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895713651211746085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565056431333847622.post-89632135864540682372009-01-29T12:27:00.000-04:002009-01-29T12:27:00.000-04:00"..What if Worlds.com was reconstructed for the so..."..What if Worlds.com was reconstructed for the sole purpose of this lawsuit?"<BR/><BR/>The patent wasn't issued until late 2007, it was issued in Feb. 20th 2007 of that year, which would be considered early. Now somewhat late in company started to rebuild itself.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, but the timing all points to one thing.<BR/><BR/>I also never mentioned Worlds.com taking NCSoft down. I simply mentioned the possible reasons why NCsoft was chosen first. As for the "..bad publicity and alienating the massive user base" that's already been done. Even people who don't play a game by NCsoft detests Worlds.com for being a supposed patent "Troll".Danshirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022207369260811095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565056431333847622.post-37055556171899365612009-01-29T10:23:00.000-04:002009-01-29T10:23:00.000-04:00Well, it's in the court's hands now.

TBH the american legal system is pretty good, and I actually do trust them to make the right decision (even in Texas). If worlds.com doesn't have a case, then they won't win. Sucks for NC Soft getting its time wasted though, I'm sure those corporate lawyers don't come cheap either.<BR/><BR/>Great work Danshir, you're amazing!Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411220724045003684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565056431333847622.post-27341255074141224692009-01-29T07:40:00.000-04:002009-01-29T07:40:00.000-04:00trying to take Ncsoft down?

All i can see worlds.com doing is gaining some income from licensing agreements, this shouldn't if set at a reasonable rate effect many people, and surly not the users of the software.<BR/><BR/>Quote "Why after 6 years from it's collapse did the company suddenly begin to reconstruct itself and establish a new Board? end quote....<BR/><BR/>maybe there were financial restraints as well as the patent not being issued till late 2007 itself. As for waiting for a year I think they just needed a board and some financial backing to be able to issue the first lawsuit.<BR/><BR/>khz / TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565056431333847622.post-4216565314602788892009-01-29T01:45:00.000-04:002009-01-29T01:45:00.000-04:00Wow, that's some nice ground work.

I guess if they could win against NCSoft, then their chances of taking the other mega corps down would be far greater. I hope they don't succeed. It could seriously damage the industry.Crimson Starfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764422983380987864noreply@blogger.com
